: Hi all,
: i tried using a socket from the HawkNL lib to connect to a TCP/IP server. I noticed that
:
: nlWrite (sock,str,strlen(str));
:
: adds "NL" and a short (representing the size) as prefix
: to the string str.
: I hacked it such that the prefix is not added.
:
: Is there a clean way to surpress the prefix generation?
: Thanks,

You probably tried to connect using the NL_RELIABLE_PACKETS protocol, which is HawkNL-specific. You want to connect using NL_RELIABLE, but you won't get "packetized" input -- it will work like normal BSD socket recv calls.
